Pupils are set to take inspiration from their favourite pop stars into the classroom as part of a new education initiative.

Teachers attended a one-day training seminar at Allertonshire School in Northallerton to find out how making music videos can be used in a range of subjects.

Music channel MTV and software company Adobe have launched education initiative BOOM, with the support of the Department for Education and Skills.

BOOM challenges school pupils to make music videos as part of the national curriculum and Allertonshire School was one of 30 schools across the country chosen to host a seminar.

The teachers discovered how making music videos can be used in ICT, music, drama, art and design.

Michiel Bakker, managing director of MTV Networks UK & Ireland, said: "We are providing the next generation of talented film and music video makers with the chance to acquire invaluable core skills in an engaging, exciting and relevant way."
